Myself and three work colleagues stayed here during the height of the Novemeber earthquake as we were busy working in the Civil Defence Centre. Darrell and Raewyn made us feel very welcome. Thank you for providing such a pleasant place to stay. I recommend this place to stay as it is still in perfect condition despite the recent quake. I...

My mom and I stayed here several years ago (the choices of time when you traveled to not allow me to reflect this). I was very sad to hear that this area was devastated by an earthquake recently. Please do not cancel your trip in the next few years! The area depends highly on tourist trade and will need visitors...

The Kaikoura Cottages are situated just north of Kaikoura. The arrangement and landscaping means that each cottage is very private. There's a play area for the kids that includes a slide, swings, trampoline and flying fox. The hosts were very welcoming when we arrived. The interior of the cottages look better in person than the pictures I've seen online. Extremely...

Each cottage stands alone and is well equipped, quiet with great uninterrupted views of the snow capped mountains.
Lovely friendly hosts and very helpful.
Just a tip to the hosts!! As a studio when lying in bed you cannot view 100% of the TV
as there is a petition ( obviously for privacy ) and this cuts off some of...

We've stayed at several similar type accommodations on our journey around New Zealand, and the Kaikoura's was the best one. It's got all the basics, nothing extra, but the way things are arranged and presented makes the cottage very nice and cosy to stay in. Besides, the view onto the mountains was just amazing; waking up to it and seeing...

Excellent cottage no.2 with qb & 2 sb. Great kitchen. Plenty of room and well set out. Our welcome was friendly & helpful. There was a slight noise from trucks nearby but didn't wake us up but could hear when we were awake during night. Everything was working, cottage was lovely and clean. What a nice view sitting on little...

A 5 min drive from the center of town, this is a set of quaint little cottages with fantastic mountain views.
Notes -
Impeccably clean
Very roomy for our family of four
A children's play area is right outside - kids had tons of fun on the trampoline
Parking right by our cottage

The cottages are really well appointed, spotlessly clean, reading lights by the beds, with friendly hosts, which meant we enjoyed our brief stay. There is also good parking for anyone with an extra long trailer as we had.

A wonderful place to stay. Very friendly, helpful owners. Beautifully clean and serviced two bedroom cottage, close to amenities. We would certainly put this on the top of our places to stay, and would recommend this to others.
